Re: Loanhead Of Daviot by jeffrep on Sunday, 16 March 2008

Constructed sometime around 2500 B.C., Loanhead of Daviot is a recumbent stone circle comprised of a large recumbent stone, two stones flanking the recumbent stone, and eight other stones in a circle that is 67 feet in diameter. In the middle of the low Bronze Age cairn within the circle is a rectangular mortuary pit, which some report may be the oldest part of the site. Nearby is a circular cremation cemetery, which was in use about 1500 B.C. Found were a number of cremated remains of adults and infants.
